Is there a polish or something that will take it off? I also want to re pin it too, it doesn't sit in the scales very tight. The wedge seems like it's too thin. I would like to put "0 wides" in between the tang and the scales. Whoever had this, etched 1927 into the scales on one side. Maybe a really fine grit sand paper could take it out? Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated...
